Speaking about his off-season with the Canal Plus reporter, Alonso said:

The double world champion revealed he has been training hard and working towards new rules for the 2022 season. Many F1 drivers have revealed that the 2022 F1 cars will require them to adapt their driving styles to the new machines, or even change them to a certain extent.

The Spaniard admitted a few weeks ago that he had to train harder at his age than other younger drivers. The 40-year-old F1 driver revealed there were better things to do in the off-season, however, he preferred focusing on his training over the winter break.

Speaking to F1’s official site, Fernando Alonso said:

Fernando Alonso believes there will be more simulator work to do ahead of the 2022 season

Several drivers from the 2022 F1 grid have already started to work on their simulation programs, due to the lack of data available for the new cars. The Alpine driver revealed that although there won’t be much difference, simulator work will play a key role in helping drivers adapt to the new cars.

Describing the preparation work over the winter break, Fernando Alonso said:

The 2022 F1 cars will be significantly different in comparison to their predecessors from the turbo-hybrid era, and the comparison in drivability is still an unknown factor. As a result, simulation work for the drivers will give them a reference point for the cars until they hit the tarmac during the pre-season test in Barcelona.
